Inspired by Clara's monthly photo project on Young House Love, I shot Cruz each month (on his birthday) in a white onesie that I Photoshop'd with each month.
As you saw from his first birthday, I was able to complete them just in time to display for his friends and family to oooh and awww over!
I wanted monthly photos because 1. I suck at taking pictures. 2. Nick REALLY sucks at taking pictures. and most important 3. I knew if I committed, I would have something so special...frozen moments captured forever so that when looking back - the exact emotion, exact smell, and the exact memory of the few moments spent together would appear so instantaneous it was like it was the present. Only its not. I nearly have a 13 MONTH OLD!
Total success.

Not sayin' it was easy...
We annoyed each other - him annoying me by not being the most cooperative model and me annoying him by shooting far too make frames - and dad, who had to make him smile 5 million times but I know we will ALL look back and thank MOM for cracking the whip to get these perfect pictures.
..makes me want another baby...his one and two month pictures are PRESH!
